so i was in the catacombs and just got this message (and i have joined the gravelord covenant or whatever it's called): "Disasters are gone after the defeat of the Gravelord Servant." anyone have an idea what this means? as far i know i haven't beaten anything called the "gravelord servant" ? no one other sites seems to know what the hell they're talking about

IIRC there's something or other that makes it so you can't be invaded by people in the Gravelord covenant anymore.

I really wish I had learned about weapon ascention before going to anor londo: I'm going to have a stroke if I die one more time by these two. Maybe a +5 flaming iaito will do the trick this time around...

[spacehamster]

these two

Who, the archers?

[Ghost Dad]

whoopsie! No, smough and ornstein. My pyromancy is pretty weak, so that approach is out the window.

[spacehamster]

I've never beaten those two without help, and I don't mind admitting this. Apparently the trick is to kill Ornstein first.

you have no idea what you are missing

also I may have to start playing this again, I keep looking over at it longingly while I play Skyrim while nothing ever happens

Easier said than done. The enemy lock-on function is fucking me up, because ornstein moves around so much, and smough is so big that he obscures my view. I'm going to kill smough first though, as you get the added bonus of being able to acquire ornstein's gear.

have fun with that as ornstein goes super saiyan on you

That, plus Ornstein's armor is pretty much useless. Can't be upgraded, its only real advantage is the relatively high curse resistance, and Lautrec's armor has it beat in that department. It just looks really cool, and that's about it.

I'm trying to get Seath's tail atm, and it's driving me nuts. The trick where you get him to attack the gizmo that replenishes his health really doesn't work all that well seeing as how the side tails block the way to his rear. By the time I'm back there, he's always swinging it around again. Aghaghagh.

At least I'll have a bigger target to hit. I have a fast character, and even with dashing across the hall, I only get about 5 seconds alone with ornstein before slough comes charging in with an unblockable swing.

JUST GIVE ME

FIVE SECONDS ALOOOOOOO

[Ghost Dad]

Looks like I gotta GRIND for a bit to get the ol' weapons up to snuff before I can kill em. Guess I'll go beat up Lautrec.

[spacehamster]

Dude, pyromancy. Dude.

[Ghost Dad]

Finally killed smough, Half of mega ornstein's health. Who'da thought the crossbow would be useful?

Does anyone know if you can get out of anor londo and back to the firelink shrine without having to go though the bosses first?

[Ghost Dad]

....knowing that would have saved me a lot of grief...thanks.

[Comrade Slinky]

figured there'd be a bit of update talk in here

[doomeddisciple]

I just watched a japanese kid beat this game in about a half hour.

I guess what I'm trying to say is that you're are sissies.

Testers doing speed runs can get fucked.

[riley-o]

i think life would need to put out a grow a set of testicles patch first

[riley-o]

i'd rather be a premature ejaculator than too scared to have sex at all

[riley-o]

that's a whole lot of shit-talk from the stands, nancy.

[riley-o]

i've made no secret of my lack of love for demon's souls. i think it's pretty good, but not amazing. i'm not sure what exactly is so different about them but dark souls just clicked with me so much more.

[doomeddisciple]

I loved and finished both and feel like my inner electronic manhood proven, if I was a two pump chump or not, it worked.

[spacehamster]

I won't really be happy until I have the goddamn Dark Souls platinum too.

That reminds me, does anyone know if jakebonz is still platinuming every version of DkS? He's been curiously absent from this thread.

[riley-o]

seems like when he's online lately he's playing MW3 ?

i dunno. i plan to platinum this but i really needed a break from it for a while first. who knows if this is going to be one of those impossible to plat due to online requirements games in a few months though
